perhaps adding '\' character help:

code: [select]

client.println("accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */\*");

if doesn't work, can use fact 2 adjacent quoted strings merged:

code: [select]

client.println("accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */" "*");

in both cases idea hide "/*" token java code doesn't have sense skip on string constants.
